Coach Massimiliano Allegri will leave Serie A champions Juventus at the end of this season, the Italian club said on Friday. "Massimiliano Allegri will not be on the Juventus bench for the 2019/2020 season," the club announced in a surprise development. Massimiliano Allegri held meetings with the Italian giants' hierarchy earlier in the week during which a clear disagreement between the two parties emerged. Juventus have already wrapped up their eighth consecutive Serie A title, and Massimiliano Allegri's fifth in as many years since replacing Antonio Conte in 2014.

Despite signing Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid last summer the Bianconeri failed to make it past the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League for the second successive season, losing to a young Ajax side.
